Academics
What will a Clapham School experience look like for your children?
They will be immersed in an education founded on a
Christian worldview. They will study great books and
be trained in the skills of speaking, writing, and
discussing. They will learn in a peaceful atmosphere
surrounded by beautiful music, plants, books, and art
as their minds thrive on a feast of ideas and
discoveries.
Children familiar with great thoughts take as naturally to thinking for themselves as the well-nourished body takes to growing.

Why Our Teachers Love Clapham
It is a joy to teach music at Clapham School! The Clapham culture of setting high academic expectations, building strong habits of learning, and of tending students' hearts has fostered a wonderful atmosphere for students to grow as musicians and as people. What a privilege for me to help train students to use their voices to glorify the Lord in song!
